Spatial ability is attributed to success in STEM disciplines and is outlined as a component of general cognitive ability through the Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) model of human intelligence. Research in spatially orientated ...

Spatial ability is proposed to play an important role in problem solving and may contribute to supporting engineering students in solving complex problems. Hambrick, et al., in the context of geology, determined individuals ...

The technology education curriculum in Ireland has gone through significant reform with the introduction of four new subject specifications at lower secondary school level. These new technology subjects were implemented ...

The provision of engineering education as a means of enabling students to develop contemporary transversal competencies such as problem solving, critical thinking, adaptive reasoning and communication, places a responsibility ...

Technology education (TE) is a transient area of study. Few other subject areas require such levels of up-skilling similar to that of technology teachers in order for them to stay current and aligned with the developments ...

Problem solving is an important element of engineering and technology disciplines and spatial ability contributes to learners’ success in problem solving in these areas (Wai, et al., 2009). As excessive cognitive load ...

Whilst investigating student performance in design and arithmetic tasks, as well as during exams, electrodermal activity (EDA)-based sensors have been used in attempts to understand cognitive function and cognitive load. ...

Spatial ability is documented as a predictor of success in STEM disciplines and noted to contribute to individuals problem-solving approaches. While there is a significant body of correlational evidence indicating that ...
